91. To ask the Minister for Finance the contact he has had with the Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs, Mr. Pierre Moscovici, regarding the common consolidated corporate tax base since December 2016. [1717/17]

The European Commission's proposal for a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base was published in October and discussed at the November ECOFIN meeting at which both Commissioner Moscovici and I were present. During the discussion, which was held in public session, a number of my fellow Ministers gave some initial impressions of the proposal.

At the December ECOFIN, Council Conclusions were approved in respect of the Commission's wider package which includes the CCCTB proposal but there was no specific discussion of the proposals at that meeting. 

No other specific contact has occurred between myself and Commissioner Moscovici on the proposal since then.
